Next iPhone Camera Said to Pack a ‘Weird Two Lens System’ That Delivers ‘DSLR Quality’

One of the big selling points of each new iPhone since 2007 has been improved camera quality. If new rumors are to be believed, we may not have seen the biggest quality jump yet. The latest word on the street is that next year’s iPhone may boast “the biggest camera jump ever.” That’s according to tech blogger John Gruber, who regularly writes about Apple over at DaringFireball. Gruber says in a recent podcast that “a birdie of a birdie” gave him some inside scoop on what Apple has up its sleeve: The specific thing I heard...

Using a 10 Stop Neutral Density Filter to add Drama to the Sky

Posted by on 24th, Nov, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt In this Adorama video Bryan Peterson shows you how he uses a 10 stop neutral density filter to take an image from average, to dynamic. The filter basically just blocks light allowing you to make longer exposures. In this city skyline shot it changes how the clouds appear in the final image. Filter mentioned in the video: B+W 10 stop neutral density filter Other dPS articles about using ND filters: Polarizing and Neutral Density Filters: Essentials for Landscape Photography High Speed Sync Versus a Neutral...

How to Make Freckles POP or Disappear using Lightroom

A Post By: Phillip VanNostrand Editing Freckles in Lightroom One photo, edited completely in Lightroom I recently photographed a model in New York City. As I was communicating with her leading up to the shoot I noticed in some of her pictures that she had freckles. I personally am a big fan of freckles and wanted to do a shoot that highlighted her skin rather than hide it behind makeup or photoshop tricks. One of my favorite photos that came out of the shoot was this one, cropped close to highlight her eyes and skin: After I posted the photo...

Readers’ Showcase: Portraits and People

Posted by on 24th, Nov, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

LarsLeibgott: Names, names, names, now. Indeed looks can be intrinsically sexual. (It’s a fact of life, you act as if I’m advocating some man, likely, take action based on the look; wrong, the action appears to already be occurring in some fashion.) I’m not the person with the problems of shame here. “you would get laughed out of any women’s studies class in America.” That would likely be an honor, though I think that actual women’s studies types do admit that women, and men, flirt and put on...

Yahoo! Acquires Photo App Maker Cooliris as It Continues to Focus on Improving Mobile

Having a great mobile experience is key in a day and age when a huge chunk of the online experience is had on a smartphone screen, and Yahoo! is continuing its march towards a great mobile experience today by acquiring the photo app maker Cooliris. Cooliris, in case you’re not familiar, is a company that is best known for apps like Cooliris — which allows users to browse photos from multiple services like Flickr, Dropbox, etc. — and BeamIt — a new photo messaging app. News of the acquisition broke last night with an official...

Gorgeous Drone Video of the Tallest Church Tower in the Netherlands Bursting Through a Sea of Fog

To get the perfect aerial drone shots of the Dom Tower of Utrecht, Dutch filmmakers Jelte Keur and Reinout van Schie had to wait a full 10 months for the perfect weather conditions to arrive. But once they did, the minute forty-five of footage they captured made it all worthwhile. The Dom Tower of Utrecht is the tallest church tower in the Netherlands, measuring in at about 370 feet tall. Usually that would put it far below any kind of cloud cover, which is what makes this footage so awesome. For all intents and purposes, it looks like...

NASA Releases Spectacular New Realistic Color Image of Jupiter’s Moon Europa

Need a bit more awe and wonder in your life? Look no further than the newest image released by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. A high-res reprocessed color view of Jupiter’s moon Europa as captured by the spacecraft Galileo in the late 1990s, the photo “shows the largest portion of the moon’s surface at the highest resolution.” According to the JPL, the new image was created by assembling Galileo’s near-infrared, green-filtered and violet-filtered photos, “into a realistic color view of the surface that approximates how...

Two Lands: A Beautiful Time-Lapse Trip to the Snowy Wilderness of Iceland and Greenland

With the exception of the opening shot, Joe Capra of Scientifantastic‘s beautiful time-lapse Two Lands stays pretty far away from the humanity. A trip into the snowy wilderness of Iceland and Greenland, the time-lapse treats you to some spectacular landscapes complete with enough Aurora to make your head explode with wanderlust. The Los Angeles-based photographer — whose work has been featured by the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, The Washington Post and many more — shot these scenes while on assignment...

Inside the Warrior: Striking Portraits that Reveal the Masculine Side of Yoga

Thinking about your local Yoga studio doesn’t usually conjure up images of masculinity. Yoga mats, yoga pants, yoga in general is seen as a female-dominated, or sometimes even female-only, practice. But as photographer Amy Goalen‘s project Inside the Warrior goes to show, that is definitely not always the case. The idea for Inside the Warrior — a project that has produced the Yoga Men 2015 Calendar and will soon become a photo book complete with an interview component — came to Goalen when one of her yoga teachers asked her to...

Tips for Using Shutter Speed Creatively

A Post By: Jim Hamel Shutter speed is one of those things that is initially a problem to be solved, but once you do that it becomes a tool that allows you to take better and more creative photos. First you should understand how shutter speed works and how to change it. You will need to make sure it is fast enough that your pictures turn out crisp. But once you’ve mastered those things, you can start using shutter speed to your advantage. You can slow it down to create a sense of movement, or speed it up to stop the action. Grey Whale Cove:...

How to Buy Used Camera Gear

A Post By: Suzi Pratt Even though the prices of digital photography equipment continue to fall significantly, it can be a tough to dole out a thousand plus dollars on a brand new camera or lens. On the positive side, camera gear (especially lenses) retains its value really well. As a result, there’s almost always a surplus of used camera bodies, lenses, and accessories. Before you take the plunge and buy used gear, be sure to understand that used equipment can be a bit tricky to assess in terms of quality and price. As a photographer who...

GoPro Survives 17 Months Bouncing Around a Riverbed After Filming Its Final Moments

GoPros exist to take quite a beating… they are action cams after all. However, as much as GoPro might put its products through the wringer to test them and ensure they’re up for anything, it’s unlikely they expect one to survive what the one in the above video did. The functioning camera managed to survive in a riverbed for 17 months! And not only did it survive, the footage of the camera’s final moments was still safe and sound on the memory card inside. The camera was found by YouTuber Beau Ouimette, who spends much of his...
